Kill or Save: UK No.1-hits of the 80s

Recommended Posts

63 George Michael – Careless Whisper

57 Nena – 99 Red balloons

51 Madonna – Into the Groove +4

36 Feargal Sharkey – A Good Heart

35 Eurythmics – There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)

34 Frankie Goes to Hollywood – Two Tribes

33 Frankie Goes to Hollywood – Relax

30 Duran Duran – The Reflex

25 Chaka Khan – I Feel for You

24 Philip Bailey & Phil Collins – Easy Lover

22 Dead or Alive – You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

15 Midge Ure – If I Was

15 Wham! – Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

3 Wham! – Freedom -6

Not insanely crazy about all the songs on this list, but no obvious downvotes for me this round so I relistened, and the 2 minutes of talk at the beginning of the Freedom video annoyed me (I'm sure they said some important things, but I'm at work so didn't pay attention). George Michael is likely a finalist anyway.

Not really feeling this round which is strange because I was 16/17 when all this was out.


Votes anyway.

Great to see a Eurovision song at the top of the list, after the failure of Nicole and Buck's Fizz previously


Not the first time the word failure and Nicole or Buck’s Fizz have been in the same sentence.

Interesting that there are two songs about nuclear war in the top six. I seem to remember at school that being a time where people were panicking quite a lot about nuclear bombs. Sting - Russians was another one.
